Step Into Spring

Spring has sprung, with inspiration this week from the many hours spent in my garden.  The Little Round Table is sporting bright colors, reflecting the hope that warm weather has finally come to stay for awhile. Details and party links at the end of the post.

Contemporary version of Betty Crocker's "Betty Bowl" is Scarlet.

Vintage pitchers in several yellow hues.

You will find no "zees" in this post, so what to do??? Well, I'll just say that this tablescape has some zigs and zags and looks zippy and zesty to me!  It's zingy and goes from 0 to a 10 in a flash ! I'm also hoping this will bring some joy to those of you in zones still suffering from cold temps!  So, that's it for my letter " Z", I think I'll go take a nap and catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Square Fiesta On A Round Table #2

I'm joining Marty and all the other "tabletoppers" for another
Tabletop Tuesday over at A Stroll Through Life.

Come on over and visit awhile!


This vintage tablecloth is by Calaprint in a geometric red and white, with
pears and sublte yellow and beige worked into the design.  I've set it with
Square Post86 Fiesta in Scarlet, Ivory and Sunflower.  Other Scarlet pieces
include the shaker from the "pasta" set and an example of the "Betty Bowl".
The Betty Bowl was made for Betty Crocker's now defunct catalog and is a
reproduction of a premium give-away. You can see other examples of the
Betty Bowl on prior posts.

The vase is vintage Fiesta in Yellow, the roses are 'Gypsy Carnival' from my garden, vintage flatware is Deauville, glasses from Target, napkins and candle holders from Home Goods.

The recently released Jam Jar is shown in Sunflower on the table and in the rear in Scarlet, Tangerine and White.  Just too cute!

Thinking Soft and Cool

I'm joining Marty and all her cohorts for another  Tabletop Tuesday over at A Stroll Through Life.

Come on over and visit awhile!

Thinking softer and cooler after all the bright Red White and Blue over the past few days.

A floral vintage tablecloth is decked out in Sunflower Square Post 86 Fiesta, with some White and Tangerine thrown in.  And to set it all off, those wonderful cabbage leaf plates that I use so often in the summertime.  Vintage Dansk flatware, glassware from Target, Metlox spiral candle holders, an individual Harlequin creamer, another Homer Laughlin creamer in yellow, vintage butter dish with chill compartment stopped up with a cork.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again next week!
